Michael Delaney

Michael Delaney
“Le Mans” may have tanked, but this was really a pet project for avid race fan, Steve McQueen. The legendary movie star portrayed Michael Delaney, and we watched him race the grueling 24 hour consecutive race held annually in France. Dialogue is at a minimum in this movie, and the real star is not the squinting eyes of Steve McQueen, but the footage and cinematography making this unlike any other auto racing film until that point. Unlike other McQueen projects, this has not lived on, but to diehard race fans, it has found a following. Beyond that set, chances are nobody remembers this film was ever made.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Le Mans (1971)

Actor:
Steve McQueen

Position Portrayed:
Formula One Driver

Raced for:
Porsche

Why you should vote for him:
Steve McQueen is a legend, and this is your only shot to put him in.

Why you should not vote for him:
He didn’t win. We go through all that with McQueen and he doesn’t win?

How did Tony Danza remember his lines when his character name wasn’t Tony? Why do angels legitimately give a crap about the outcome of Baseball games? Why did they remake this? What kind of Disney movie kills Tony Danza in the end; and why didn’t that happen in the season finale of “Who’s the Boss?”




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Angels in the Outfield (1994)

Actor:
Tony Danza

Position Portrayed:
Pitcher

Played for:
California Angels

Why you should vote for him:
His character was a good guy….we guess.

Why you should not vote for him:
This is not even in our top three of athletes played by Tony Danza.

Machine Gun Joe Viterbo

Machine Gun Joe Viterbo
Basically on the ballot because….well it’s Stallone; “Machine Gun” Joe Viterbo was the foil to David Carradine in Death Race 2000. We recognize that this far from Sly’s best work, but this is a guilty pleasure of ours…and maybe yours.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Death Race 2000 (1975)

Actor:
Sylvester Stallone

Position Portrayed:
Death Race Driver

Raced for:
His own interests.

Why you should vote for him:
It’s Stallone!

Why you should not vote for him:
If you love Sly, there are far better choices here.

Luther "Shark" Lavay

Luther Shark Lavay
As much as this movie had a lot of characters that stood out, only the one of Luther “Shark” Lavay had that feeling of deja-vu. Lavay was billed as the Linebacker who changed the way the position was played; the very statement that was given to the man who portrayed him, Lawrence Taylor.


Taylor was not a great actor here, but he was given some of the more poignant gridiron related speeches in the film. With a chainsaw, he taught “Steamin” Willie Beamen offense and defence, and he taught the young Quarterback about emotion in the game. Lavay’s career ended on the field due to making a vital hit (it turned the ball over on downs), but he was stretchered off the field, where it was implied that he may be paralyzed; essentially due to all the damage he took on the football field. Somehow, in the new injury aware National Football League, this scene seems to hold a little more impact than it did when it was filmed.



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Any Given Sunday (1999)

Actor:
Lawrence Taylor

Position Portrayed:
Linebacker

Played for:
Miami Sharks

Why you should vote for him:
Much like Lawrence Taylor changed linebacking in the NFL, Lavay changed it in the AFFA. (Pacino said the latter, so IT MUST BE TRUE)

Why you should not vote for him:
Much like Taylor himself, Lavay’s best days were behind him.
